The robbery began with Boudin dropping off her infant son, Chesa Boudin, at a babysitter’s before taking the wheel of the getaway vehicle, a U-Haul truck. She waited in a nearby parking lot as her heavily armed accomplices drove a red van to the Nanuet Mall, where a Brink’s truck was making a pick-up.
At 3:55 pm, Brink’s guards Peter Paige and Joseph Trombino emerged from the mall carrying bags of money. As they loaded the money into the truck, the robbers stormed out of their van and attacked. One fired two shotgun blasts into the truck’s bulletproof windshield, while another opened fire with an M16 rifle. Paige was hit multiple times in the chest and killed instantly. Trombino was able to fire a single shot from his handgun, but was struck in the shoulder and arm by several rounds, nearly severing his arm from his body.
The truck’s driver, James Kelly, noticing the shooting behind him, fired several rounds at the robbers through a gun port on the door of his truck, but came under heavy gunfire, and took cover underneath the dashboard, but he was hit in the head by glass and bullet shrapnel. The assailants grabbed $1.6 million in cash, got back in their van, and fled the scene.

A great example for the death penalty. Now even more so, so that cold-blooded killers cannot get paroled or pardoned by some Marxist DA or Governor.
In fact, I think his son, DA Chesa Boudin, should be executed on grounds of aiding and abetting a mass murderer in trying to get freed despite his horrible crimes.
Gilbert is as “unrepentant” as his fellow Weatherman buddy Bill Ayers (and Bernadine Dohrn). Except for some kind of reported police investigation mistakes in the killing of Officer O’Connell, both of them would have been serving life-plus sentences in the same jail as Gilbert. However, that case has been reopened for years and they might still go to jail for life.
